NBATV’s documentary on the original Dream Team airs tomorrow night, but if you can’t wait that long, GQ did an outstanding article on the 1992 Olympians. They combined a bunch of quotes from a good portion of the people involved to tell a great story about the best basketball team to ever take the floor. […]

For those of you that are TV lovers, surely you’re familiar with “Zack and Kelly,” “Ross and Rachel,” or any number of other dramatic romances that never seem to die and leave people wondering week-to-week, “will they or won’t they?” Well, I get that same feeling following the decisions of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. […]

Trading Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks clearly wasn’t good for anyone. The Lakers missed their Sixth Man of the Year, Odom missed L.A. and the Mavericks missed out on a legitimate chance to defend their title. That wasn’t all Odom’s fault but he clearly wasn’t happy playing in Dallas and it showed. Odom’s attitude […]

Anybody who has watched the Boston Celtics this postseason will tell you they haven’t seen the Ray Allen that they’re used to. Allen is one of the greatest shooters of all time, but he’s clearly been struggling. In Game 1 against the Miami Heat, Allen shot 1-7 from the floor for 6 points. He also […]

I remember when Marc Gasol first came to the NBA. He was a little overweight and did not seem to have any real skill and quickly earned the tag of being “Pau’s little brother.” Marc was drafted by the L.A. Lakers but traded to Memphis for his older brother. Pau helped the Lakers get to […]

I wrote yesterday about the possibility of Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum playing somewhere new next year. He clearly isn’t happy in L.A., however with his low level of team dedication, I doubt he’ll be happy anywhere. But hey, a change of scenery couldn’t hurt. This past season, as the trade deadline approached, there […]

Andrew Bynum is one of those players that you have to wonder if his level of talent is worth all the negatives he brings to the table. He’s had moments of brilliance over his 7-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he’s also caused some big headaches. Bynum has always had the height to […]

You know what they say: if you’re not getting your way, form special committees to do your bidding. Ok, maybe nobody says that, but that’s what NBA commissioner David Stern is doing. Stern has made a special “competition committee” that will take rule-making decisions out of the hands of the league’s 30 General Managers, and […]

I would say the Indiana Pacers player making the most noise in their series with the Miami Heat is probably Roy Hibbert. The Pacers big man has been playing phenomenally and is getting a lot of positive attention. A guy getting noticed for completely different reasons is Lance Stephenson. Stephenson has quickly gained notoriety as […]

Lamar Odom is going to go down as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the Dallas Mavericks organization. They thought they were getting the reigning 6th man, someone who could come in and replace some of the pieces they lost after their championship season. Instead they got a less-than-mediocre player who seemed […]

Sacrificing your body to take a charge is one of the great momentum builders in basketball. Absorbing the hit from an opposing player coming at you like a freight train takes its toll on the body, but for a lot of players the turnover is worth the sacrifice. Not for Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant. […]

The Boston Celtics head into game 3 with the Philadelphia 76ers tonight tied at one game apiece in their 7-game series. They have only themselves to blame after scoring just 11 points in the 3rd quarter of Game 2, but they have to be a little bitter about not getting one last chance to finish […]

After some pretty intense competition in the first round of the playoffs, you can only assume we will be in for more as we move into the second round. After a couple of Game 7’s and a huge upset (asterisk for injury), can we expect some more drama in the next couple weeks? Probably not. […]
